WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) — A Rhode Island Public Transit Authority bus crashed into a building in Warwick on Monday, sending three people to the hospital.

The crash happened around 7 p.m. at 1209 Post Road.

Police have identified the driver of the bus as 51-year-old Richard Avedisian of North Kingstown. According to RIPTA, Avedisian has been with the company for about 30 years.

Witnesses said the bus hit a utility pole and cut across traffic, before jumping a curb and plowing through a snowbank. The bus hit the building, which houses The Driver’s Seat automotive store and a paintball shop.

Warwick police said the scene was about a half-mile long and all injuries appeared to be non-life-threatening.

Eyewitness News spoke with the owner of The Driver’s Seat, Manuel Rosario, who said he was inside the building when the crash happened. The roof collapsed after the crash, but Rosario said he is just glad no one inside the store was injured.

Mayor Avedisian said he spoke with the driver briefly after the crash.

“He wasn’t saying much. He was just saying where he hurt and where the blood was coming from and I think we’ll know more tomorrow about that,” he said.

Officials said video and data from the bus will be analyzed to try to determine what exactly happened.

Coincidentally, RIPTA posted a video about safety on their Twitter account right around the time the crash happened.

Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to contact Warwick police at (401) 468-4200.
